12 hours???? That's Manfred von...😅😅😅😅😅 If you're gonna tell one...

Groovy tunes, baby!❤❤❤❤❤, Yeah! Now, to my Shag-Yu-Phantom!!!

Soundtrack…….

Always makes me laugh when people call them flying lessons, I looked at it more as learning not to crash lessons, that's a more important factor in aviation I feel.

My Dad AOCinC Training Command ar 11:47!

A sad testament to the need for military. People miss the whole point! We are ALL SINNERS! God is Holy, Righteous, Just and True. We ALL fall short of God’s Glory. There is not ONE who is good! The ONLY one who fulfilled the requirements of Almighty God is His Son, Jesus Christ. He came into this dark and evil world, lived a life without Sin and there was no deception upon His lips. He then laid His life down for all mankind as a sacrifice of atonement. Three days after being laid in a tomb, God raised His Son to eternal life and Glory! That is a fact and it cannot be refuted. I realize that I have gone off on a bit of a rant. That’s ok. God deserves all of the Glory, Praise, Worship and Appreciation for what He has offered we detestable Sinners! War happens because human beings want power, glory, riches and all of lusts of the flesh. People say… Let’s have Peace around the world. It is NOT possible as long as there are those who reject Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, that will always be the case as so many are lost to the lies and deception of this world (Satan). Some will call me bad names. Some might start to think… ? It’s those who begin to think about God’s love that will be led to Salvation.

I was born the wrong year. I missed all of this good stuff 😢

The gnat.. It's like the spitfire was originally called the shrew for fks.sake.!!!!

We bought the phantoms then developed the tornado. What happened to the f4s.

Lots and lots of those and lightnings flew over great yarmouth when i was young in the 70s. Not sure if the phantoms were american because of the black engine smoke.

There's an old Chipmunk still flying these colours at Felthorpe airfield in Norfolk. I regularly see it in the air around the Taverham/Thorpe Mariott area. No Phantoms though, unfortunately 😂

Films brilliant, the comments and memories are brilliant, Patrick Allen is brilliant. The RAF is brilliant 😁

If you need to understand, the end of Empire, this film is an absolute classic.

Ahhhh, The Phantom, the 'Mud Pusher' my first flt com, flt left Kevin Toal was an ex nav on Canberras & Phantoms in RAF Germany, he once admitted to me that he was lead nav on a sqn exercise in germany &,on taking off 10mins down route he suddenly realised that he was off by 180deg, i didn't persue the issue as he looked embarrassed enough, we all f##k at times................

Brilliant

At the 38:46 mark, USMC Exchange Officer. Interesting.

The Phantom was not a good aircraft.

My fondest memory is a beautiful Jaguar made an emergency landing at our airfield. the poor pilot had to be hosed off . While approaching his ground target, a strong down draft forced an quick upward correction. Causing him to slice a large & long piece of canopy due to stabilizing wise on an RN station antenna. After landing and pinning & choking this jet. I looked , being a courious person, Inside the jets barrel & noticed a “round” in the breaching mech. Responce was immediate. Avery lucky jet jockey. I never found out if this person continued to fly.

Best non UK a/c we ever bought.until goons in our govt got their way...idiots....long live the Phantoms.

The F-4 Phantom would be the best fighter in the world if they put in F-22 Raptor engines, phased array radar and laser cannons. It would be the fastest thing out there. If you like aviation art, please check out my new art book: Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson. Available on Amazon. 100 full color pictures.

Chris failed advanced training at Chivenor and was chopped. He went on to Hercs.

Terrific nostalgic video.....Having read the comments it seems that he never actually made it as a Phantom pilot,having failed the Fast jet course at Chivenor ? Interesting they`d progress the video as if he had passed the course and gone on as a successful phantom pilot ? Anyhow,not to detract from any of the film..it was terrific viewing.

"This maneuver is a test of the pilots competence and confidence" Yeah and his continence 😅

Phlown one, phired one & Photographed one all in phlight.🐅

The theme music is as redolent of the 1970s as flared trousers, big tie knots and wide lapels .... almost expected to see Jason King ....

Pomp pomp cheerio

To me the most beautiful jet aeroplane evermade.

Awesome... Read F4 Phantom A Pilots Story by Robert Prest 👍🇳🇿

Is there any information about whether or not the phantom is a progression from the F-101Voodoo and why they changed the wing dihydral and tail plane configurations and who in the hell thought this heavy rockdt with fins would make good carrier plane?

Looks like the Mach Loop @16:00. Being RAF Valley it must be. Used to live there in the mid nineties as a kid. Damn that place filled me with dreams.

Was this film intended to be shown in schools full of impressionable school boys?

Absolutely fabulous.. it looks as if everyone got their hair done by the same hairdresser in those days.

Sadly all gone now.

The good old chipmunk i remember my very first flying experience in one way back in 1975 at RAF Marham and watching those Victor tankers take off was absolutely amazing.

Absolutely fabulous .. I remember having a sit in a phantom at an American airbase as a young air cadet somewhere king's lyne way back in 1975

Wonderful.

The Japanese still fly them. ua-cam.com/video/SB8g_efiKMg/v-deo.html

The Gnats were really great air combat planes. May be the best.

This couldn’t be more 1970’s if it tried ! Everything from the music to the legendary narrator Patrick Allen is just class. I am intoxicated with the heady aroma of jet fuel and Old Spice 😎

16:05 to 17:36 That debrief was savage.

I worked across the lake from the end of the main runway of Carswell Air Force Base in 1971. Those Phantoms would take off, two at a time, belching great streamers of dark smoke, the noise so loud the city had to build their schools underground, and our phone had to have a blinking light for a ringer else you would never know the phone was ringing. Even inside our shop you could not hold a conversation until they were well up in the sky. Two Phantoms were equal to one B-52 in terms of noise and smoking exhausts. All the military airplanes were magnificent sights, but I could not help but wonder what we were breathing after they flew by. My father in law, a Lt Col. Navigator-Bombadier in a Buff, was on Alert time after time during the late 60s, and later came back from bombing Hanoi with PTSB. - During the Cuban Missile Crises I was only ten, but worried because our home was far enough away from the base that we were sure to die horribly from radiation poisoning if The Bomb was used; later I was glad to be closer, within the 'quick death' ring if "they" nuked our busy SAC base. They were tools of war, flown by warriors.

"Confessions of an RAF Phantom pilot".....love the Phantom, love fast jets, love the 70s...heaven !

“A Phantom costs as much as two million pounds.” That’ll just about pay for the seat cushions on an F-35.

My 1st posting early 1977 OCU (not Charlie Goff - the new Charlie !!) Comms - some real characters - worked hard and have many good memories - God Bless em all. We tried to build a 'Sprite' for use by the groundcrew for PPL training by OCU aircrew - but we went on strike due too some shenanigans with the funding/materials and project participants - not sure if it got finished as I was sent back at Cosford in 1978

04:46 19:45 28:20

I all ways wonted to be a pilot, I have Autism AD HD OCD so had no chance.

Few in the chipmunk with the air cadets back in the early 70's ...alas didnt joing the RAF..followed my father into Rolls Royce [path of least resistance :) ]

Wonderful.. reminds me of the Test Pilot school series I watched as a kid avidly in the mid 80s. I was lucky to have an AEF in the Chipmunk followed later by a later flight of 45 mins aerobatics as a cadet in the ATC This was all back when the ‘Great’ in Great Britain was still something to be proud of..

Certificate U? It shows paid killers in training. That's sick.

I was 1 when all this was going down.
